Three Wives and the Utah phone book information system

6:05 am Miscellaneous

Three Wives, Utah, a tiny town in the salt flats near Salt Lake City, was interested in placing their town on the map.  They submitted their information to the Utah phone book information system, and all three hundred names were added to the information database. The state maps suddenly sprouted a tiny dot named Three Wives!  This all came about because the information was readily available in the Utah phone book information system.  No one had even hoped it would be so successful, but after only a few months, tourists were coming to visit the town, and a small but steady growth in population took place.
